Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Animals at Home My travels in search of light on the "Animals at Home" have taken me up and down the Rocky Mountains for nearly thirty years. In the canyons from British Columbia to Mexico, I have lighted my campfire, far beyond the bounds of law and order, at times, and yet I have found no place more rewarding than the Yellowstone Park, the great mountain haven of wild life. Whenever travellers penetrate into remote regions where human hunters are unknown, they find the wild things half tame, little afraid of man, and inclined to stare curiously from a distance of a few paces. But very soon they learn that man is their most dangerous enemy, and fly from him as soon as he is seen. It takes a long time and much restraint to win back their confidence. In the early days of the West, when game abounded and when fifty yards was the extreme deadly range of the hunters weapons, wild creatures were comparatively tame.

Although I have left the strict line of historical truth in many places, the animals in this book were all real characters. They lived the lives I have depicted, and showed the stamp of heroism and personality more strongly by far than it has been in the power of my pen to tell.

Book excerpt: I have aimed to show something of the little aspects of the creatures' lives, which are those that the ordinary traveller will see; I go with him indeed, pointing out my friends as they chance to pass, adding a few comments that should make for a better acquaintance on all sides.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Edge of the Wilderness: Tales of Our Wild Animal Neighbors The author acknowledges indebtedness to more than one acquaintance for observed records of animal behavior, which he has incorporated in these tales. His thanks are especially due to William Sargood, Deputy Game Warden for Southern Berkshire (Massachusetts), to Hamilton Gibson, to Walter King Stone, and to Warwick S. Carpenter, of the New York State Conservation Commission. The primary object of the stories being, however, to reconstruct imaginatively the life of the wild creatures while they are not under observation, but living out their normal existence, the author would not seem in any way to shift the responsibility for the natural history herein contained.

This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Habits and Characters of Various Wild Animals It is, of course, impossible to write from personal observation and study all the data that are neces sary for the completion of a book of this kind. One may be tolerably familiar with the life-habits and customs of a certain beast, may indeed regard it as an intimate friend; but life is too short for one to learn from practical observation all the details concerning it that are necessary its changes of coat, length of life, and so on. If one could devote all one's studies to one particular species, it might be possible; but in dealing with several there comes a point when inaccuracy must be risked or extensive references made. Realising this, my method has been first to write all I know concerning the animal dealt with, and, this done, to apply to outside authority for such supple mentary evidence as might prove necessary. If my original notes have appeared sufficient, they have been left untouched; and in every case my own data, when sufficiently wide, have been given, whether or not they happen to coincide with the notes of other, and probably far better qualified, naturalists. On other occasions, personal data on a certain point have either been entirely lacking or insufficiently substantial, in which case the best authorities have been sought and quoted. A final reading of the finished chapters has brought home very forcibly the realisation that at least half the information contained in this volume is the result of the studies of my boyhood. It dates back from my ninth year, and a very large number of the incidents quoted occurred during the succeeding seven years. In those days the study of wild birds and animals, particularly animals, combined with an intense love for angling, led me to explore many lonely mountain lochs and forests, and was so absorbing an attraction that it is to be feared it excluded studies of a more important kind. I had no books on British animals so far as the school library was concerned, no one seemed to have written any, and during holidays a reference library was not within hailing distance. The natural history books annually presented by kindly relatives were given over to such curiosities of the African veldt and the Indian jungle as best lent themselves to illus tration, and contained nothing concerning the creatures I knew and loved. Gamekeepers, stone breakers, and water-bailiffs were the only references available; and I very soon learnt that the sole way to acquire accurate knowledge was to find out for one's self - a state of affairs for which I to-day thank my lucky star!
